Abstract: Ensemble siège de véhicule comportant des ceintures de sécurité intégrées et possédant un cadre de base et un cadre de dossier. Le cadre de dossier est accouplé pivotant au cadre de base par un premier et un deuxième éléments de pivotement. Ces éléments peuvent comprendre des vis de commande motorisées servant à commander électriquement à distance la position de pivotement du cadre de dossier. Le cadre de base comprend un premier et un deuxième rails latéraux servant à le monter au plancher du véhicule et permettant d'effectuer un réglage par coulissement vers l'avant et vers l'arrière de la position du siège. Ces rails possèdent chacun un manchon au niveau de leurs extrémités arrières, afin de les rigidifier, de manière à améliorer leur résistance à des forces élevées créées pendant une décélération brutale. La ceinture de sécurité intégrée comprend une partie de ceinture d'épaule reliée à l'extrémité supérieure du cadre de dossier, au-dessus du premier élément de pivotement, ainsi qu'une partie de ceinture passant sur les cuisses. Un enrouleur monté au cadre de base, déroule et enroule la ceinture depuis une partie non visible intercalée entre l'enrouleur et la partie de ceinture d'épaule. Ce segment non visible de la ceinture de sécurité est caché à l'intérieur d'un montant creux du cadre de dossier. Un guide est monté à l'intérieur du montant creux et sert à commander le segment non visible à l'intérieur du passage creux pendant le déplacement de la ceinture de sécurité afin d'empêcher le blocage ou un défaut d'alignement quand on agit sur l'articulation du cadre du dossier. Une plaque de butée anti-rotation est solidaire du cadre de base et placée de façon à venir en butée contre une partie nez du premier élément de pivotement dans le cas d'une charge lourde et d'une déformation provenant d'une décélération brutale. Ceci permet à la plaque de butée anti-rotation d'empêcher une déformation indésirable du premier élément de pivotement par rapport au cadre de base.

Abstract: The pipeline system from the dry alarm valve (3) to the sprinklers is filled with compressed air. The alarm valve is held closed by pressure compensation on the air and extinguishing water side and opened when pressure drops on the air side. The pipeline system is rapidly ventilated by a pneumatic device and the dry alarm valve is rapidly opened by a separate pneumatic device. The quick opening for ventilating the pipeline system takes place before the rapid opening of the dry alarm valve. The rapid openings are undertaken by separate throttle stretches. This ensures that the throttling for the ventilation is greater than the throttling for opening the alarm valve. Diaphragm valves can be used to control the ventilation of the pipe system and the opening of the alarm valve.

Abstract: An improved communications buffer system is provided which dynamically
allocates the size and number of buffers to optimally receive packets of
communications data over a communications link. The size and
number of transmit buffers is first determined, and this determination is made
after considering how much pool area is available in the printer's memory
system at that moment. Then the receive buffers are next configured. The first step
is to perform a preliminary calculation to ensure that the receive buffer size is
not set greater than the amount of data that can be received during the
maximum turnaround time for this particular configuration between a host
computer and the printer. After this has been determined, the receive buffer
size is provisionally set to a power of 2, and the number of buffers is set
equal to the remaining pool size divided by this receiver buffer size. After
ensuring that there are at least a certain minimum number of receive buffers,
then a "window size" is set to a certain maximum size, at least for infrared
communications ports.

Abstract: The pump shaft (W) rotates in the pump fluid and is located through a support sleeve (MF) which has a slip bearing (GL) at the pump end. A second sleeve (FS) is set inside the main sleeve and has an inner spiral groove (SK) facing the shaft. The second sleeve is rotated by a servo drive (M) at a speed which causes the fluid to interact with the spiral groove and generate a hydrodynamic sealing effect. The rotating sleeve is driven by a toothed belt with the speed adjusted independent to the speed of the shaft, to control the sealing effect. The non contact seal is lubricated by the pump fluid or by a separate lubricant.

Abstract: A hydraulic apparatus for adjusting the timing of opening and closing of
an engine valve of a prior art has the drawback that sludge from the oil pressure
chamber tends to accumulate on the inner surface of the housing of the actuator,
which controls the rotor in a valve timing adjusting system for controlling the valve
timing of the engine. This causes troubles in the operation of the rotor. 
     In the present invention, while the fuel delivery to the engine (M1) is
being cut off, the hydraulic media providing means (M10) is controlled by the
timing advance control means M13 to rotate further the rotor from the position at
the moment that the fuel delivery is cut off, so as to clean the inner side of the
housing of the actuator (M9) , the control of the setting and the execution of the
cleaning mode is carried out by a cleaning condition judging means (M14) . A mode
exchange means (M15) controls the hydraulic media providing means (M10) to
exchange its normal mode and the cleaning mode, according to the state of the
engine.

Abstract: A polarizing plate 4 is disposed to polarize light parallel to the X axis of liquid crystal
display 3, which may be optionally rotated to a position where the intensity of a light that
transmits the liquid crystal display 3 takes an extreme value (maximum or minimum) and an
output Ix using a photodetector 6 is measured. The polarizing plate 4 is then disposed to polarize
light parallel to the Y axis to thereby measure an output Iy using the photodetector 6. The
polarizing plate 4 is then disposed to polarize the light in the direction inclined by 45 degrees
between the X and Y axes to thereby measure an output I45 using the photodetector 6. A quarter
wavelength plate 5 optionally may be disposed between the polarizing plate 4 and the liquid
crystal display 3 such that its axial direction is inclined by 45 degrees from the polarizing
direction of the polarizing plate 4 while disposing the polarizing plate 4 so as to polarize light at
45 degrees from both the X and Y axes. In this position, an output Iq45 is measured by the
photodetector. Stokes parameters are calculated according to each of the measured values Ix, Iy,
I45 and Iq45, and according to the calculated Stokes parameters, the thickness of the liquid
crystal layer and/or the twist angle of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal display 3 can
be determined. Optionally, the light intensities may be measured by a two-dimensional
photodetector and Stokes parameters for a plurality of points on the liquid crystal display may be
simultaneously or substantially simultaneously determined.
